The Internet is a worldwide collection of computer networks cooperating with each other to exchange data using a common software standard.
Ethernet is becoming the most commonly used access medium when connecting a business computer network to the Internet because of its wide acceptance as a Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) access medium.
An Internet T1 is a dedicated telecommunications connection supporting data rates of 1.544 Mbits per second that consists of 24 individual channels, each of which supports 64 Kbits per second that can be configured to carry voice or data traffic.
A packet-switched network like the Internet injects short delays into its communications as it disassembles and assembles the packets of information it sends.
Because a single message is often broken into many packets, TCP marks these packets with sequence numbers before sending them. The sequence numbers allow the receiving system to properly reassemble the packets into the original original order.
Internet over Ethernet connects your Local Area Network (LAN) physical link and data link at the two lowest layers of the OSI Reference Model to the Internet at speeds of up to multiple Gigabits per second (Gbps).

Can your business function without reliable, high-speed Internet access? Probably not.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) uses virtual connections that are routed through the Internet from the company private network to the remote office or employee sites.
Larger corporations with greater bandwidth needs may be candidates for a T3 connection to the Internet. T3s have the equivalent bandwidth of 28 T1s with a transmission rate of 45 Mbps. T3s can be burstable, which allows you to start small and increase your Internet bandwidth as your needs grow.
